Answer»

The Chinaman and his wife are exemplary models for love and humanity. The Armenians and Anatolians have so many imaginary stories showing the Orientals as cruel and brutal. But here we see them to be much more empathetic towards the suffering Mikali and his new-born brother. Mikali and brother were driven out both from the Armenian and Anatolian camps because of the constant cries of the starving newborn baby. As its mother had died in childbirth he never got any milk. By sucking its thumb all the time, it had swollen. Its body was frail and head had grown to enormous size.

All these did riot make the refugees from both the camps to help the baby. The Armenians wanted it to die so that they are not disturbed by the cries of the baby. But the Chinaman and his wife proved to be a real savior as the wife breastfed the baby without worrying how horrible and dirty it looked. The Chinaman and his wife prove there are still good people on this earth.
